I haven't got mine up yet, DH just cut it yesterday, it is a pinion pine.... But here is a picture from last year. I'll use the same white lights and decorations. I love the scent and mood that my Christmas tree brings to my home.

My neighbor came over tonight to see my tree (she's the only person besides us who will ever see it) and I think she was about ready to pass out before I finished showing her each and every S'mores ornament! She lived through it though, what a trooper.

The amount of time from slipping on the peel and landing on the pavement is exactly one bananosecond.I do have a secret yen for pink in unexpected places. ~ninja dogI've decided that I'll never get down to my original weight, and I'm OK with that--After all, 8 pounds 2 oz. is just not realistic.

My own "first Christmas" ornament. Around 32 years without losing the picture on it or chipping. Hope to keep it around long enough to have hang next to my kids' first Christmas ornaments :-)Attachment 27985

Isn't it precious?!? I check in at one Christmas shop every year because the owner picks the best ornaments when he goes to market. He starts out classy and gets more adorable and sassy with every margarita he drinks while shopping. lol. I typically only buy one or two but when I really change up my tree, every 5 or 6 years, I prefer to buy from him. I bought one of the owls on Monday and 6 more yesterday I fell in love.

I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

I figured since I can't find s'mores ornaments in stores much any more I should start ordering a few every year. The issues is there are SO MANY I WANT. Oh my word, it was so hard to just pick two! I won this auction on ebay and I'm very excited to get the two new additions to the tree!
